<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Terry asked: "<FONT face="Times New =

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Terry,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Usually 15-30 seconds will suffice. =
And, YES, it
can be used on Ivory. The dowel has two front rail punchings, =
stacked/glued on
the dowel. Then the VERY SOFT Buckskin is stretched over the end, glued =
and
clamped with a chunk of piano wire. The whole feel is that of a finger. =
On the
end that inserts into the Jig Saw, I took an appropriate sized screw and =
flattened one end and filed/ground it to the appropriate configuration =
to mimic
the appropriated saw blades, used on this Jig Saw. Then I screwed it =
into the
dowel w/some epoxy as lubricant/fastening. The sides of the dowel were
flattened/thinned to clear the declevity plate. It probably took about =
an hour
to set it up for use. I've been using it for many years and have never =
had a
problem with damage to the keys/piano/self. Initially, it was purchased =
at a
Used Tool store, for very little bucks. Even a new Jig Saw is fairly =
cheap these
days.</FONT></DIV>
